Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-11 at 15:03

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in

Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop

them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.

The time is now 3.02 pm in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today.

ongoing war report. In Operation Lions Raw an IDF official told the Jerusalem post that the

assassination of Ayatollah Ali Kaminay and the top echelon of Iran's military and the IRGC on day

was an incredible turning point made possible by a giant highly coordinated airstrike that took

months of planning about 40 seconds of action around 815 am on February 28th killed Kaminay.

IRGC Chief Mohamed Packper. Military Chief Abdul Rahim Mousavi. Defence Minister Amir Nasizadeh.

National Defence Council Secretary Ali Shamkani. And roughly 35 other senior officials.

Key Israeli aircraft involved included F-16s, F-35s and F-15s with contributions from other

platforms and an American leder Mada. The IDF described the first day air power and munitions

as changing the course of the war. In direct Israeli-run clashes, Miss Al-Fire is now reaching

southern Israel. With ongoing alerts as Iran launches towards southern regions and launches

from Iran towards southern Israel have been detected. In Iranian retaliation, Tehran provided

dramatic testimony alleging that drones are striking base-age personnel. Separately, a former

deputy commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Fadavi,

claimed on Iranian state media that an American F-15 was shot down over southern Tehran.

In U.S. military role, preliminary findings indicate the United States is responsible

for the Tomahawk strike on the Iranian Girl School in Minab, where more than 175 people were killed,

according to the New York Times. The ongoing investigation says Senkham had been using

outdated target coordinates provided by the DIA. And it is not clear when the school building

ceased to be part of the adjacent IRGC base. Officials are examining why the outdated information

was not double-checked, and whether AI or other intelligent systems could have contributed.

Though that possibility has been deemed unlikely at the time. In regional impacts,

medical teams treated two lightly injured people in the north, a 35-year-old woman with a head

injury, and a 50-year-old man with a hand injury, who were evacuated to the Galilee Medical Center

in Naharia, with other patients treated for injuries while moving to shelters and for anxiety.

Sirens were heard across southern Israel's Najev and across northern Israel, as missiles and UAV

attacks were reported, with dozens of interceptions over northern skies as more than 100 projectiles

were launched. Initial reports also noted casualties in northern Israel, as the region faced a

multi-front intensity. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, the IDF is now firing

heavy fire in Lebanon after Hezbollah's massive rocket barrage. The IDF spokesperson said a wide

wave of strikes had begun in Dahi in Beirut against Hezbollah infrastructure, with ongoing

interception efforts. A military source said dozens of launches had come from Lebanon to Israel,

and the Air Force would carry out dozens of strikes across Lebanon in the hours ahead.

Attacks reportedly began in the Dahi district of Beirut. Hezbollah has announced the start of

Operation Al-Asf Al-Mackle, the devouring wind, against Israel, joining tonight's rocket barrage

of more than 100 rockets. Hezbollah previously declared operations, named the Eaton straw.

Northern Israel remains under an immediate threat of more rockets from Lebanon.

In U.S. policy concerning Israel, President Donald Trump said he is not worried about an

Iranian attack on U.S. soil. He claimed that Iran's mind-laying ships were destroyed,

and that just about all of Iran's navy is gone, while urging oil companies to use the

Strait of Hormuz, which he said Iran had closed with submarine mines. He cited the removal of

reserves by the IEA, about 400 million barrels, to a vertiglobal supply crunch, and noted his

ongoing engagement with other world leaders, via a G7 virtual meeting.

Asserting the United States possesses the greatest military in the world.

In Israeli domestic politics, former Defense Minister Yoav Garland announced that he will not

run in the upcoming elections, and is taking a pause from political life. The government approved

an updated 2026 state budget late Tuesday night, adding about NIS 30 billion to defense in

light of Operation Roaring Lion, and allocating over NIS 5 billion in coalition funds for the 2026

budget, including hundreds of millions of shekels for Haredi institutions and investments in

West Bank settlements. The plan also directs funds from other ministries, with the budget having

passed its first reading in January and awaiting final votes by the end of March. If not approved,

the Knesset would dissolve and trigger early elections. The session approving the move occurred

by Zoom amid the ongoing war and passed unanimously. Thank you for tuning into this Israel today,
